Catch 22

When forever finally comes to town Not sure I wanna be around When it stands outside to Knock upon my door I’ll hide inside Not make a sound Turn out the lights Get on the ground Lay in the quiet Shadow of the floor And if forever’s not deterred No worry, I’ll plan for the worst I’ll wait it out I’ll stock up every shelf I’ll let forever Knock all day And hope it finally Goes away Don’t answer’s what I’ll sit and tell myself And if forever starts to pound Hard on the door to knock it down I’ll stack the furniture Up high and deep I’ll nail some boards Ill brace, I’ll wedge I’ll cross my heart I’ll make a pledge! That, “While forever’s there I’ll never sleep” For in the end I know I’ll win I’ll never let forever in Nor ever let it have Its’ way with me And I’ll not step Outside again Yes, can’t you see I’m bound to win Forever locked inside… Is where I’ll be

I didnt understand it, but the emotions it evokes are an interesting contrast.
